Why u no gearbox?

This weekend / tomorrow: try and work out exactly what is out of whack in the rear guard to make it not line up with the door 100%. Will involve, hammering, comparing to other guard, swearing, hammering and repeat until I give up / just cut and weld it to fit properly and cheat.

0.9 bar, stock sidemount intercooler which is in a pretty bad state.

If it's 239kw I have an unopened bottle of Jäger for you.

Find out the cause and then fix the hesitation on acceleration in the girlfriends Mazda. Hopefully new airfilter and plugs will sort it. (air filter is filthy, when I first took it out it left a pile of dust on the work bench...)
